Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
DHL is seeking a Warehouse Shift Manager to lead operations at an Asda site on a rotating-shift pattern. The role typically requires experience managing warehouse or distribution teams, strong knowledge of health and safety, inventory control, order fulfilment and operational procedures, together with good communication and problem-solving skills. Candidates should be comfortable working days, nights, weekends and changing shift patterns. Expectations include supervising colleagues, allocating resources, monitoring productivity and service levels, maintaining accurate records, supporting training, investigating issues and ensuring customer and site requirements are met. A practical, organised and people-focused management style is important, as is the ability to work under pressure and improve warehouse performance.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
